Windsor, Ontario, Canada - When the Mentley family set out to begin a journey across Canada to help raise funds and awareness to fight breast cancer they had faith that Canadians from all walks would respond. Friends, family, and peers of the Mentley family have already generously jumped in to help with the worthy cause.
Brian Mentley uses the Ladybug to drive to work each day.
Now, the little "bug that could" has just received its first sponsor and it has come from an American company -- DiMora Motorcar. The company is creating the world's first hand-built, $2 million, sixteen-cylinder production automobile. They've named her "The Natalia" and she will be the world's most luxurious, expensive, and technologically-advanced creation.
The "Natalia" and "Ladybug" do share something in common. Both are handmade with love, but that's where the similarity ends.
"The Ladybug was not designed with comfort in mind," laughs Brian Mentley, the man behind the rod-iron creation. "Although like the Natalia we definitely get looks wherever we take it."
Brian Mentley receives the first of many contributions from Alfred DiMora for the Ladybug Drive for a Cure.
Alfred DiMora, the CEO of DiMora Motorcar, met the entire Mentley Family at an event earlier this summer. After hearing about their quest he decided immediately to come on board and lend his support behind them.
"I guess we do have a few more similarities when you think about it," mentions Mentley. "Both Alfred and I love unique cars and are driven to help in the fight against breast cancer."
